Good looking car congrats. Lot of guys here will give you hell for the LSx but it looks like a pretty nice car to me and 131mph is gettin with it no matter whats pushing it down the track.
Anything built for speed gets my respect. If a honda can click off a ten second 1/4, then its a job well done. Same goes for a bowtie swapped mustang. The work looks to have been done well, and she is fast and fun. Enjoy it.
Thanks guys, yea i know there are a bunch of haters out there, I got the best of both worlds though. I cant take full credit for building the entire car because i bought it with the trans and motor already done. As you can see Ive been a member here since 2001 when i had a 5.0 .. lets put it this way, ive had a built 306 that cost me 5k, to run 12.9@110mph in a 89 GT. Fairly reliable though .. but power wise LOL its a joke when i compare it to a stock ls6. You can pick up a ls1 or 6 for 3000 or so depending on where u go. Dont need to do much to it honestly and it runs all over jus about everything. I drive my ls6 to the track run it, and drive it home. I have tunes to go up to a 200shot. so basically I have a 9 sec street car for under 8 grand. I love the foxes and only reason i post on here is cus i know there are people like me out there that love the look of the fox and how well it sets up. But want something different. My other car is a 04 Z06 (same motor) and thats why i wanted this setup. My Z is forsale and I am going to be building a T-Top twin turbo touring LSX fox.
But to do a conversion depends how much u want to put in the motor, and what headers you want .. trans ... wiring.. alot of different ways you can go with this.

10 sec. Hondas have Honda engines
If/Whenever I finally put a V8 in a Tacoma im not gonna go to Toyota Nation and post all about my Chevy/Ford V8 in my Toyota... It's not smart.

Forgot the forum keyboard tough guys will come beat me up for having a chevy motor in a mustang. No i post on here cus i like to go fast and there are different ways of doing it. I still come on here and ask about setup on suspension OOOO but wait i have a chevy motor im not allowed.. get off your high horse and realize that it doesnt matter its a mustang im posting about.. it looks like a mustang hell it even still sounds like one with the 40series mufflers. Id hate to see your reaction if instead of doing the lsx swap in the TTop i actually did a supra motor... Ooo lord never hear the end of that one..

Congrats! I can and do appreciate your car. At the same time it is not something I would do. In the end we are all car enthusiasts and build what makes up happy.

I don't care if it will run an 8 second quarter mile and cost a buck fifty,
this is Fox 5.0 Talk, not Chevy Crap in a Fox Talk. View attachment 191334

I like it. I'd yank the 302 in my 93 in a second if I had all the stuff to do the swap.
There isn't anything that Ford has that can be bought cheap and run that hard. The LS series GM stuff is nasty.

Im awating when I no longer have to pass the sniffer, then it's a LSx going in mine. I've seen what a stock 6.0 out of a Tahoe can do in a Fox, and the cost is next to nothing power wise. It's about going fast, not staying loyal to a big corporation that doesn't give a crap about you and will move your job to China or Mexico.
You're wrong. LS motors are hard running motors, but the cheapest way? No. 130 mph traps shouldn't be a problem with 500 rwhp. That can be done with a 302W for much cheaper than an LS swap, especially considering you probably already have the motor and the computer, but I admit that you'd be running the possibility of splitting the block. A built 351 would be a better way to go. Start with a $100 junkyard block and pick your poison: n/a stroker, nitrous, blower, or turbo. The LS1 definitely has advantages over a motor like this, but cheaper isn't one of them.

I don't understand the hate in here at all but I guess that is to be expected...
I'd just like to say very impressive car and it looks like a clean swap!

What did you do to the suspension to pull the 1.49 sixty?
also, 90% of the dudes talkin sht are probably driving 13 second and slower cars, with a signature a mile long with a list of bolt ons on it.

I don't think there is any way, you can personally put together a ground up build from a 100.00 junkyard 351, and build it to the power level (and durability) to make 500 whp for 3000.00. Even if you do have a rabbit in your hat, and you ebay build yourself a miracle stroker w/ all internals, heads, machine work, and induction for 3k, @ 500 whp It's still a main saddle crack waiting to happen.
I HATE LT series SBC engines. I Hate them in mustangs, hell I hate them in the cars they came in. But after owning several Holden based GTO's w/ LS engines,....I love those things. (the engines). But just as much as hating a SBC in anything, I'll take a pass on the sameness that an all-mustang car show w/ the same 5.0 w/ mods, blah-blah-blah snooze fest that typically happens all across the country.
The Car doesn't take offense that it has a different engine in it. If the car could think anything,
it probably loves going 10.ohs for the first time in its' life.
Coming from one guy that puts ford engines in cars they don't belong in, to Zapp I say: more power to you. You got up on the other side of the bed and proved it could be done. AND You didn't even have to brush your teeth w/ your ford blue toothpaste, put on your Mustang undies or your I hate chevy T-shirt to go out the door and get on w/ your life either.
